35024 2002-02-09 09:39:00 I use WinAMP and I like it's visualisations... unfortunately they sort of get in the way, don't they? So I discovered how to set the visualisation on the desktop. It worked a beaut on my WinME system, but when I upgraded (whew! stay AWAY from winME!) I couldn't... I discovered it's because I need to disable 'active desktop'. I can do this easily in 9x but is it even possible in XP? What about a hack to get around it then? Or a visualisation that utilises active desktop?
BTW, its XP pro. Thanks!

At the bottom of that window click on 'Customize Desktop', and in the new window click 'Web', and in that screen you can activate or deactivate the active desktop.
